Guaranteeing steady cash flow is one of the important activities a business can undertake. Setting good ground rules for handling those who default on their credit agreements is essential, and sometimes, of necessity, that involves chasing for payment. This pack provide a series of suitable letters to walk a firm though the process of chasing for payment, from the initial gentle contact letter reminding of obligations and requesting payment, through the process of forewarning that action will be taken, right up to the creation of the required claim form for the County Court.

This document creates three debt collection letters demanding payment for an overdue invoice(s).
You can use it if you have sent invoices (one or more) to a consumer or business for goods supplied or services performed and those invoices remain overdue for payment.
These letters calculate the total outstanding debt as at the date of each letter, including, in some cases, any interest due on the overdue amounts.
The second and third letters can only be used if you've had no reaction from the debtor in response to the previous letter. The third letter is a final 'letter of claim' (also known as a 'letter before action'), which threatens court action if you don't get a response. This also includes the information sheet, reply form and financial statement form that you need to give to the debtor before you can go to court.
This document is suitable for use where the goods were delivered or services were performed within the UK.
